The words of the chief of staff relieved everyone, it is good to have an independent division to attract firepower, this period of time is the saddest day for the Jin Sui army, the casualties are close to 20,000, and if the fight continues, the Jin Sui army is waiting for the end!

"Chief Yan, the Independent Division has asked us to hold back part of the Japanese army, are we going to carry it out?"

A lieutenant general's question made Chief Yan roll his eyes, dragging the devil, what kind of joke, his capital is not so much.

"Go, send someone to contact the devils, and say that our Jin Sui army has retreated to the defensive line, and we have secretly ceased fighting."

Yan Laoxi's words shocked the generals in the command, is this to drag down the rhythm of the independent division's retreat?

"Sir, is it too much for us to do this, we are all Chinese soldiers, and besides, the independent division is to help us attack quickly, and we will make people rub our backbones when we do this." , a general's face is ugly, and many generals in the command have nodded one after another, they are all friendly troops, calculation is calculation, but you can't watch the Chinese soldiers being wiped out, and you are still dragging back in the rear.

Yan Laoxi was full of murderous anger and stared at a few people: "Bastard, the Eighth Route Army didn't have a good mind to send an independent division to support us, this is the rhythm of letting our Jin Sui Army die with them, are your heads confused?" ”

The furious Chief Yan made the general of the command bow his head slightly, speaking of which, the Eighth Route Army was just passive, and everything was not the calculation of the Jin Sui Army.

The chief of staff looked at the headquarters with a depressed atmosphere, and said: "Sir, I agree to negotiate with the Japanese army, the independent division asks us to hold back some of the devils, which we can completely achieve, and they can't gossip." ”

The chief of staff's words made everyone stare at him, and he smiled slightly and continued: "Even if we secretly agree on a truce with the Japanese army, the devil will not rest assured that the seventy or eighty thousand troops of our Jin Sui Army are placed here, I dare to conclude that in addition to reinforcing the 8th Division in the past, the rest of the devils will be on guard against our Jin Sui Army." ”

"In this way, we have an explanation for all aspects, and when the independent division and the Japanese army are decided, we will temporarily decide the direction."

After the chief of staff finished speaking, Chief Yan smiled, the independent division and the Japanese army are stumbling, this is what he wants to see the most, the Eighth Route Army does not want the independent division to be wiped out, it will definitely reinforce them, and the scene of defeat and injury is the biggest benefit of the Jin Sui army.

"Okay, let's do it, send someone out to talk to the devil."

The news that Yan Laoxi was going to negotiate with the devil was known by the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese army at the same time, and at the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, the boss looked at the information from the inside line and had a black face.

"Smack"

"Bastards, what a bunch of villains, they only know how to compete for power and profit, and those troops are wasted in the hands of these people."

The boss couldn't suppress his anger, and the political commissar also had a gloomy face, and now the independent division is really dangerous.

"Go, order the troops, get close to the independent division, Lao Tzu wants to bow down to the devil, and let Yan Laoxi see the power of our Eighth Route Army."

The chief of staff sighed and went to mobilize the troops, on the other side, Tada Jun looked at the telegram in his hand and sneered, the Jin Sui army is really calculating, and if you want the imperial army to come out and pick up the bargain again, this bargain is not easy to get.

"Order the front-line troops to stabilize the Jin Sui army, and say that we agree to the agreement to let the troops withdraw from the positions of the Jin Sui army."

"Telegraph to Lieutenant General Ichiro Tanaka in Henan, asking them to ......"

After Tada Jun made the arrangement, he focused on the big battle with the Independent Division, looking at the small area on the map, which would be the place where the Independent Division would fall.

Knowing that the Japanese army agreed to the agreement, combined with the Japanese army's return to their defense area, Chief Yan finally put his mind at ease and prepared to watch a good show.

On the other side, Division Commander Xu, who received the telegram from the headquarters, had blood-red eyes, but he didn't expect the Jin Suijun to be so resolute, and the independent division was abandoned by them like this.

"Lao Xu, this is the worst outcome, but we have to face it, according to the intelligence, only the 8th Division has been reinforced, which is expected."

The words of the political commissar still calmed down the division commander, and Li Ping now sneered, he had to drive the Jin Sui army out of Shanxi if he had the opportunity in the future.

"Division commander, I will lead 10,000 people to drag the 8th Division of the devils, and the 16th Division will be handed over to you."

"As long as we eliminate the 16th Division, then it is possible that we will hold out."

Li Ping's words made the two division commanders twitch their hearts, saying that they were dragging it out, but in fact, they were fighting with their lives.

Division Commander Xu raised his head slightly, stared at Li Ping, and said, "Be careful, give me two days, and I will definitely annihilate the 16th Division." ”

Master Xu is also a person who dares to make decisions, rather than letting the devils gather, it is better to have a big fight, which is better for the independent division.

Li Ping nodded and turned to leave, and began to assemble his troops and move in the direction from which the 8th Division came.

Looking at the troops in the distance and looking at the rising smoke, Division Commander Xu immediately ordered the artillery to start shelling.

After Li Ping led his troops to rush for three hours, a scout came over quickly: "Chief of Staff, the Japanese army is coming here, and there are still two hours before the time to get here." ”

Li Ping looked at the surrounding terrain and immediately ordered: "Let the troops build a defensive line, and all roads are mined." ”

"Five lines of defense have been established, and our purpose is to drag the devils and keep them stranded here."

The troops quickly dispersed, and Li Ping looked at the busy soldiers and rushed to the front with the guards.

The troops he brought did not have artillery, and Li Ping knew in his heart that the 8th Division that had been reinforced was the Kwantung Army, and their weapons and equipment were very sophisticated, and he was not sure how long he could hold off the devil.

Time kept passing, and Tani's urging telegram made Noda look impatient, his own troops were already exhausted, and this telegram was like a reminder.

"Boom"

The sound of explosions in front of them alerted the marching devils, and a cavalry quickly approached Noda.

"Division commander, there is the Eighth Route Army in front to block it, and mines are planted on the road."

Noda's face was stunned, and he had a cold face: "Baga, let the sappers come forward to clear the mines and speed up." ”

Noda asked the troops in the rear to rest while on guard, and finally had time to catch their breath.

Li Ping watched the devil sappers clearing mines and motioned for the hidden troops to start shooting.

"Dada"

The sappers who were swept down immediately caused a mine explosion, and the devil infantry reacted quickly, constantly shooting in the direction from which the gunfire came.

A squad of devils quickly searched the past, and all they saw was bullet casings in one place.

"Baga, the Eighth Route Army has fled, let's return."

Bullets were constantly sprayed on both sides of the road, and the devil's demining work suddenly stopped, and Noda in the rear had a black face.

"Baga, order the two brigades to occupy the high ground on both sides to guard against a sneak attack on the eight routes."

The troops that were separated began to occupy the high ground on both sides, and Li Ping looked at the devils of the two brigades and temporarily ordered the troops to stop.
